Nystrom methods for high-order CQ solutions of the wave equation in two dimensions
An investigation of high order Convolution Quadratures (CQ) methods for the solution of the wave equation in unbounded domains in two dimensions is presented. These rely on Nystrom discretizations for the solution of the ensemble of associated Laplace domain modified Helmholtz problems. Two classes of CQ discretizations are considered: one based on linear multistep methods and the other based on Runge-Kutta methods. Both are used in conjunction with Nystrom discretizations based on Alpert and QBX quadratures of Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) formulations of the Laplace domain Helmholtz problems with complex wavenumbers. CQ in conjunction with BIE is an excellent candidate to eventually explore numerical homogenization to replace a chaff cloud by a dispersive lossy dielectric that produces the same scattering. To this end, a variety of accuracy tests are presented that showcase the high-order in time convergence (up to and including fifth order) that the Nystrom CQ discretizations are capable of delivering for a variety of two dimensional single and multiple scatterers. Particular emphasis is given to Lipschitz boundaries and open arcs with both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions
Nystr\"om methods for high-order CQ solutions of the wave equation in two dimensions
We investigate high-order Convolution Quadratures methods for the solution of
the wave equation in unbounded domains in two dimensions that rely on Nystr\"om
discretizations for the solution of the ensemble of associated Laplace domain
modified Helmholtz problems. We consider two classes of CQ discretizations, one
based on linear multistep methods and the other based on Runge-Kutta methods,
in conjunction with Nystr\"om discretizations based on Alpert and QBX
quadratures of Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) formulations of the Laplace
domain Helmholtz problems with complex wavenumbers. We present a variety of
accuracy tests that showcase the high-order in time convergence (up to and
including fifth order) that the Nystr\"om CQ discretizations are capable of
delivering for a variety of two dimensional scatterers and types of boundary
conditions
